Doctors

Hi guys! 

So today I had a doctors appointment with a doctor for disability. I received a letter saying they wanted more information about my back/spinal issues. 

Well it was a longgggg day. My appointment was at 11:40am and of course because I'm always early I was there at 11. Good thing because I couldn't find the place at first. Anyway. 

Had to wait over 2 hours! Then they took me back for X-rays of my lower back and my knee I had surgery on. Wasn't sure why. Specially since my big spine problem is in my neck and upper back. The tech wasn't sure but he said it was probably that they had all the other info and wanted this as well. I never had my lower back checked.

Laying down for the X-ray he had to straighten me out to line me up evenly and let me tell you, I am so crooked. OMG. Worse then I thought. I guess since I can't lay straight ( I never realized that) I never knew. I felt so out of place and crooked once he moved me. I could feel how uneven things felt. My one leg is longer then the other. Same with my arms. I felt like I would fall off the table. Yet I was completely straight. So weird and really uncomfortable. 

I had to go wait again after. Finally in to see a dr. She was very nice. Everyone was actually. She just asked me how everything started. And how I got to this point. Then I explained how I feel and my symptoms. Then she did some tests. Had me walk back and forth. Stand on my heels and walk. Which I can't do. My feet immediately fall to the floor as if someone pushes on my toes. Then she had me sit and poked me with a paper clip. Didn't feel it really. Then we discussed what she found as she wrote her notes. She doesn't know what happens next. So I don't either. I hope to hear soon though and hopefully some good news. I could really use this. 

Anyway all that and I finally got home around 4! Ugh so long. 

And as I just stood up to go get something I see my back is killing me. Probably from the tech moving me all over. Oh well. I don't have anything else this week. 

Oh on another note it has been 4 weeks eating better following weight watchers points and I am down.......7.6 pounds!! Woo hoo haha. I feel like that is really good. I know a lot of this is from all the medication and that may be way it is coming off easy. I do hope it keeps it up though. I'm starting to see a difference. And Marqui told me yesterday he does as well :) :) 

That's all for now. I really need to update more often. It is hard though when I am home now all the time and don't have anything new going on. I wanted this to be mostly about my health but maybe I'll talk about other things.
